Stunning private location only minutes from Russell
We had an amazing time. The house is only 2 minutes drive into Russell with all the places to eat, but you are in your own private sheltered bay. Perfect for paddle boarding or just sitting in the hammock watching the incredible sunsets. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. Would love to come back next summer. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful stay
We had a fantastic stay at Cushla's property. The house was beautiful and well equipped. We weren't lucky with the weather but that didn't detract from our stay as the house was very comfortable with plenty of entertainment options provided (movies, books, games etc). Cushla kindly provided a cot and high chair for our toddler which was much appreciated. Communication was excellent and non-intrusive. It was lovely being able to just pop down to the beach right out the front of the house.
